Filters are used to perform logic either before an action method is called or after an action method runs. Filters are custom classes that provide both a declarative and programmatic means to add pre-action and post-action behaviour to controller action methods.
Prior to ASP.NET MVC 5, there are 4 types of filters:
- Authorization filters (IAuthorizationFilter)
- Action filters (IActionFilter)
- Result filters (IResultFilter)
- Exception filters (IExceptionFilter)
Prior to ASP.NET MVC 5 we are using the [Authorization] attribute to enforce role-based security within the ASP.NET MVC applications. ASP.NET MVC 5 introduces the new Authentication filters (IAuthenticationFilter).
Authentication filters are a new kind of filter in ASP.NET MVC that run prior to authorization filters in the ASP.NET MVC pipeline and allow you to specify authentication logic per-action, per-controller, or globally for all controllers. Authentication filters process credentials in the request and provide a corresponding principal. Authentication filters can also add authentication challenges in response to unauthorized requests.

This blog post explains how to change the default location of Views in an ASP.NET MVC project.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewBag.Message = "View Engine Demo!";
return View();
}
}
If we look at the above code snippet, we have a HomeController inside we have an Index action method which is returning a View. If an user request for the following URL http://localhost/Home/Index/ or http://localhost/Home/ ASP.NET MVC goes through the request pipeline, execute Index action method & return a view.
In this example we did not mention any view name & location of view. We know ASP.NET MVC follows conventions rather than configuration. It searches for a view named index (view name will same as action name, if we don’t explicitly mention) in Home folder under Views folder in root of the project.
